The patient had received bilateral partial knee arthroplasty procedures using the robotic arm interactive orthopedic system (rio) and restoris multicompartmental knee (mck) implants.The patient contacted mako surgical inquiring about the material composition of the mck implants.In (b)(6) 2014, almost a year following the original procedure, the patient began experiencing a skin rash near the base of the skull, which then spread to the patient's legs and back.The patient has sought medical attention, and several antihistamines have failed to relieve her symptoms.

As part of normal complaint follow-up, an evaluation of the event has been initiated at mako surgical.Due to the long period of time between the patient's procedure and the appearance of the rash, it is not believed that the mck implants nor the mako plasty procedure contributed to the patient's condition.A response will be provided to the patient with the material composition of the implants, as well as a recommendation to consult with a makoplasty physician.The investigation is currently ongoing, and a supplemental report will be filed when additional information is obtained.
